I've been there all weekend with our team. We had Clio #22 out. Thankfully he didn't get caught up on the oil in qualifying yesterday, or race one yesterday afternoon.

IMHO the crash in the second race could have been prevented by waving slippery surface flags frantically before the Club chicane, not at it because the drivers are already committed in the corner. Lots and lots of damage. JHR Developments took Rob Lawson's car all the way to Sheffield last night to reshell it because it was destroyed after race one. Three or four of their lads hadn't been to bed yet at 14:00 today.

As for the whole Matt Neal/Vauxhall/Plato saga, it was won fair and square in my eyes. Fabrizio Giovinardi was the better driver on the day and deserved to win the championship.

It is great to see VXR competitive again
